Sigh. Have I taught you nothing? The problem is you need to overwrite/flood the site's priorities until it forgets that it's hooked to a series of interconnected websites. The simplest way to do this is to go on, say, hackforums.com and search the keyword "flood"; if you really feel like d...

I don't think he knew how to run it. Game 1 I played T1 Stromkirk Noble, T2 Ash Zealot, T3 Reckoner, and then he scooped. Game 2 he got the combo off, and I hadn't boarded because I didn't see his deck at all game 1. Game 3 I double Slaughter Games and he scoops again. I find out later that night h...

I dunno, Ajani does have one important thing going for him: he has obvious and direct synergy with a number of played cards in his same block.. that's actually pretty rare; the last time that really happened I think was UB Tezzeret, and he obviously saw quite a bit of play when he was in Standard. S...

Also, ramp is a thing; some permutation of Monsters could almost undoubtedly benefit from the incremental advantage this guy poses, and the effect just seems way better when you're landing him turn 3 or 4 (as opposed to a creature.. I love me some Stormy but keeping a hand of land + ramp just to top...

There are an awful lot of ways to set up your draws in Standard, though. Magma Jet and Thassa, God of the Sea come to mind. Not that I'm dismissing your point, Thrillsy, as you would then by necessity have to not only include this guy but those cards in order to take full advantage of the synergy, a...

The flavor on this card is all fucking wrong. "You have no hope... unless you're playing with any of a number of cards from this very world, including the gods who made this decree!" Plus, way to not even give us Dante fanboys a reference to use in our games, MaRo.

What I like is that he's an engine without needing anything extraneous to advance your game plan; what I hate is that the only way you ever get him active as a creature is either by A) running a bunch of non-synergistic crap or B) running all the a planeswalkers, in which case he seems like overkill...

Interestingly, I think this guy exemplifies the sociological law of proportional response. The thinking goes something like: 1. This guy essentially makes blocks for your opponent so unfavorable that they cannot block. 2. Your opponent will therefore be more inclined to run creatures that simply can...

Second best odds in the house. Good game to be playing if you want to lose the least amount of money over the long term. But as a Great Math Analyst, I'm sure you knew that. ;) What's the first? My info is pretty clear that cardhouses lose their shirts on Blackjack. (Well, not lose lose, but compar...

No, what I mean is why is Master of Waves getting outed for inclusion in the deck ? I consider myself a humble man, so I don't expect you to read my walls of text, and even if you did I'm not going to expect you to take everything I say at face value like I'm some sort of great card analyst, but in ...

My match starts at 2h15m http://www.twitch.tv/sybexmtg/b/515790319 Fuck me, what was that guy listening to? Absolutely awful wubsteppy . As all Australians, I'm sure Zem was listening to ACDC Men At Work in his muscle wolf shirt and took a nonchalant swig from a bottle his beard full of whiskey as ...

I... I'm not getting the logic, I'm afraid. Red, a highly-played archetype many of which are currently proving themselves the best in the format, has a problem dealing with Master of Waves , so fuck it, more Lava Axe? Also, while I do love me some Chandra, believe me, what exactly is she doing for t...

@Jasper: I'm not sure. On the Cons side, counterspell packages are pretty weak right now, since aggro can sneak guys under it and black just plays Pack Rat , and the prevalence of Thoughtseize makes relying on anything even remotely resembling a combo a little iffy. I wouldn't be comfortable playing...

Well, maybe i just had bad luck , but i had serious problems when he flooded he board early (like three one drops in the first two turns). I was forced to use my cheap removal spells on them, including chained to the rocks, then i had no answer to desecration demon. Just variance i guess , because ...

In the Buffy the Vampire Slayer universe, there's an unwritten law that the calmest day of the year is Halloween; it's explained as simply being too easy and expected for the diabolical forces to really take advantage of, since it's the one day out of the year when the normal people aren't going to ...

Well, there's definitely nothing wrong with the archetype, at least. Right now, it's biggest challenge is to not just be a shittier version of WR burn; you lose the big stuff like Helix (and a bunch of really good sideboard stuff) and burning their stuff out is arguably just strictly better than cou...

There's a few people in my playgroup that are testing different versions of this, and it's solid. It's a skill-intensive deck, but if nothing else it looks fun as hell to play. Goblin Electromancer is probably the weakest link, at least from a theoretical standpoint: it's a midrange/control deck, an...

Ah, yup. My LGS is chock full of aggro and mono-black. My main objectives have been board control and lots and lots of fat creatures; in most of the situations where Reaper was relevant, Pack Rat was just doing it better (and I cut him too). XD I've seen a few people who have had RIP in their SB jus...

Yar, Deathrite is pretty inconsistent. Once every few games, he facilitates some really silly plays or pulls in the last few damage for you, but most games he's just worse than most anything else that could be in his slots. As of right now, I'm kind of enjoying playing with him as a sort of damage m...

OMG lolololol, "Can you provide video?" totes needs to be a thing, guys. Make that happen. Feyd, I'm looking in your general direction here. >.> And just to retain the illusion that I'm relevant, let me clarify what the problem is: Mozilla Firefox, unlike Chrome, IE, or whateverthefuckAppl...
